Hey all. So I have a question. I’ve got a flash page that essentially is a large image made up of 25 pieces of that image. There are a few images total. So essentially over 100 smaller images which make up a few larger images.
I don’t want to have any delay in those images once the swf is loaded, so I want to preload those smaller images. To be utilized, they get loaded into their corresponding mc’s on the stage. 25 mc’s each with its own image (Well, several images). So I first tried just leaving copies of the images on teh stage but way off to the side thinking that they would just be loaded from the cache, but that’s not appearing to be the case. The images slowly load up instead of appearing instantly as when tested locally.
This whole swf gets called from another swf if that makes a difference. I don’t think I could handle typing in ALL those link identifiers… There are a few pages like this, so in essence, by the end it would be several hundred small images!
Currently they’re all loaded using loadMovie and for() loops.
I also want to be careful since I’m loading this swf into another swf, the main preloader is in the parent swf, and I’d like to keep it there if possible, so I can’t just create a preloader in the child swf… Although, if there’s no other choice…
Anyone have any ideas?
